Abstract

This paper describes the design and realization of a 5.6-GHz ultrawide-bandwidth-based position measurement system. The system was entirely made using off-the-shelf components and achieves centimeter-level accuracy in an indoor environment. It is based on asynchronous modulated pulse round-trip time measurements. Both system level and realization details are described along with experimental results including estimates of measurement uncertainties.
